Woman Jailed After Killing Man Who Asked To Be Shot

A South Carolina teenager was charged with involuntary manslaughter after police say she fired a shot at a friend in a bulletproof vest, but missed the Kevlar and struck him in the heart.

Anderson County Sheriff’s Lt. Shelia Cole said Blake Wardell, 26, found an old flak jacket early Wednesday morning in Greenville, put it on and asked 18-year-old Taylor Kelly to shoot him.

Kelly fired a single round from a small-caliber handgun at the vest, but just missed. Authorities say the bullet went through the lining and into Wardell’s heart.

Perhaps they should distribute flak jackets to all of the gang-bangers, giving them the false sense of security that comes with wearing something that you think will stop bullets, but which will in fact only stop .22 Short rounds, on a good day.

What a waste of a bullet, go to McDonald, get a straw, hand it to the gang banger and tell him its a deep sea diving unit from the navy, tell them that to get in the new naval banger group, they have to insert the straw in between their lips, let themselves drop from a boat in 30 feet of water with cement blocks on their feet and collect everything of value on the sea bottom before coming back up..

I wore and have one of those Kevlar flak jackets, I wouldn't let someone shoot a paperclip at me let alone a bullet. This generation of video voyeurs is something to avoid, anyone that was ever shot with a real vest doesn't want to get shot.

She must have been using a 1911.

If it was a Hi-Point, it woulda hit exactly where she was aiming.

Maybe she was a jealous lover who got even. DUMBASSES.

How was he wearing the vest if it wasn't covering his chest?

My guess would be a vest like this, and she hit high.

If you look at the old Flack vests from the 80's and 90's they are BDU pattern and overlap. They were only intended to stop shrapnel from grenades and Artillery rounds and even then only at a distance. I have been tempted to shoot my vest and old Kevlar helmet just for shits and giggles and not while wearing them.
